Never one to stay away from the States for long; DigiJoe will be back on the road again in March for South by South West in Austin, Texas – for the second year running.

But this time…he won’t be alone. He’ll be joined by digi-people from 39 other UK-based companies thanks to Chinwag, UK Trade & Investment and their ‘Digital Mission’.

Digital Mission gives UK digital companies an opportunity to expand their business or seek investment in the US, with a range of activities for attendees; masterclasses, networking, marketing support and so much more.

Skimlinks was selected by the Digital Mission advisory board to make the most of the opportunity during SXSW Interactive Festival – five days of presentations from the brightest minds in emerging technology.

The entire list of companies attending Digital Mission SXSWi ’10 can be found here, and you can follow all the Digital Mission news in real time on Twitter here.

You’ll see our faces across the pond a lot in 2010 (exciting news following this post!) and we’re kicking it off by attending the fantastic Affiliate Summit West in Las Vegas (our fourth time in Vegas in 12 months!)

I’ll be there meeting old friends, and new. We’re also supporting Affiliate Summit’s chosen charity National Breast Cancer Foundation by sponsoring a place at the charity poker tournament and a player at the charity ten pin bowling. (you can enter to win the place by sending an @ reply on Twitter to @skimlinks saying why you should get the free ticket to the poker or bowling)

If you’d like to meet up with me, please get in contact either via email joe @ skimlinksdotcom or Twitter – I’d love to say hello!
